"Great experience overall, I'm feeling lucky to have found Zelos. Onboarding the volunteers has been working well. I was a little concerned as not all are tech savvy but following the link and downloading the app proofed no problem."

Frequently asked questions

What is Zelos?
Zelos is a task and shift signup app for teams that coordinate work: volunteer organizations, on-demand workforces, community groups, and field service teams. Admins post work, team members claim what fits them, and everyone coordinates through built-in chat. Free for unlimited team members, no per-seat pricing.
Who uses Zelos?
Volunteer coordinators at nonprofits and churches, staffing managers at agencies and event companies, community organizers, brand ambassador programs, youth programmes, disaster response teams, and field service dispatchers. Anyone whose work involves posting tasks or shifts and letting people sign up.
Is Zelos really free?
Yes. The Standard plan is free forever with unlimited team members, unlimited administrators, browser and mobile apps, in-app messaging, and CSV exports. It has limits on concurrent active tasks (25), archive size (last 100 tasks), and chat history (10,000 messages). Paid plans starting at $99/month remove these limits and add bulk operations and advanced features.
How is Zelos different from scheduling software?
Scheduling apps assign people to shifts algorithmically. Zelos doesn't. Members see what's open and pick what they want; there is no auto-assignment. It works for teams where people know their own availability better than software does.
Where is Zelos based and is it GDPR-compliant?
Zelos is built in Estonia, EU. GDPR-compliant by default. Your team data stays in EU data centers. No cookies are set without consent. No data is sold to third parties or used for advertising.
Can I try Zelos before talking to sales?
Yes. Sign up at app.getzelos.com/signup with no credit card and no sales call. Most teams have their first tasks posted within five minutes. If you need a demo, you can book one, but it's optional.
